Organic Coatings Market Trends

Increasing Demand from Architectural Applications

• Architectural coatings are finishes used for the interiors and exteriors of buildings. The main purpose of an architectural coating is decorative. However, the coating also provides some protection to the underlying building materials.
• Alkyd paints are among the most versatile and useful materials in organic coatings. Long-oil alkyds of the air-drying type are widely used in high-quality interior architectural paints and enamels due to their good elasticity and exterior durability.
• According to China's Five Year Plan (January 2022), the construction industry in the country is estimated to register a growth rate of 6% in 2022. The housing authorities of Hong Kong launched several measures to push start the construction of low-cost housing. The officials aim to provide 301,000 public housing units in 10 years.
• Europe also witnessed an expansion in retail, with the new construction of malls across the continent. The Metropol Mall in Turkey, the Mall of Scandinavia in Sweden, Westfield Bradford in the United Kingdom, Weberzeile Ried in Austria, the Mall of Europe in Belgium, and Lublin Mall in Poland are some of the recent constructions in Europe.
• According to the US Census Bureau, in December 2021, the construction spending in the country was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of USD 1,639.9 billion, 0.2% more than the revised November estimate of USD 1,636.5 billion. Moreover, in 2021, construction spending amounted to USD 1,589.0 billion, 8.2% above USD 1,469.2 billion in 2020, thereby indicating an increase in the demand for coatings from architectural applications.
• Such factors are likely to increase the demand for organic coatings during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market

• In the Asia-Pacific region, China is the largest economy in terms of GDP. China and India are among the fastest-growing economies in the world.
• Organic coatings are increasingly used in China's building and construction industry. China is home to the world's largest construction industry. With several major construction projects in progress, China will likely maintain this position for the foreseeable future.
• Organic coatings are also widely used in vehicle manufacturing. In India, the contribution of the automobile sector to the overall GDP stands at 7.1%. It also contributes 49% of the manufacturing GDP. The Indian automotive industry is expected to be the world's third-largest automotive market in terms of volume in a few years.
• In addition, 43,99,112 vehicles were produced in India in 2021, which increased by 30% compared to 33,94,446 units manufactured in 2020. The Indian automotive sector is optimistic about reaching pre-pandemic levels of production volume this year, despite manufacturing being hampered by a semiconductor shortage.
• Japan is expected to have 100% of its car sales be EVs by 2035, and the Japanese electric vehicle market is growing. US companies may also find business opportunities in various areas related to electric vehicles. The expansion of the electric vehicle market in the country is therefore projected to aid the growth of organic coatings.
• All the aforementioned factors are likely to augment the studied market over the forecast period.
